Don’t Get Anxious – Get Prepared! I know, it’s that season of creepy things that go bump in the night…but don’t let that affect your career search! I know that many of us are still working on our career transition plan and things get a bit “scary” when the bills are due…and the resources are low. I know that at times it feels like there are no easy roads, easy choices or answers.

Now as your Career Engineer, I must tell you faith, hope and optimism are a must during these situational scary times. Keeping your head up , your actions focused and on point combined with uncommon faith…will help us to make our Mondays better. If you are not sure about that, re-read my Blog Post, “What if GOD Was My Coffee”it will keep you inspired. Wow, now back to what started this post, on Monday, I had a chance to stop by my regional NBC affiliate WAVY10 this to share “Scary Job Search tricks to avoid.” So I figured, let me share this with you 🙂 feel free to comment and share with others. Be safe, be blessed!

Turn that BOO Around with These Simple Steps:

Stop The Doom & Gloom: Stop complaining about the economy and (this my sound tough) …put your feelings “in your pocket.” Blame and denial never helps you reach your goals. Here is a secret that hiring managers know…great companies ALWAYS look for the right talent…in any economy. Make sure you fit the bill and have a record of performance that is in demand.

Don’t Get Tricked BE the Treat: “You can’t SELL What You Don’t Know!” It has always surprised me how we rush to flood the market, without truly knowing who we are, our value, what we want and what we are selling. Boo!! Stop doing that instead INVEST in your brand (Your Package & Your Response) and please get this, VALUE not vulnerability…wins!

Don’t EAT All that “Career” Candy, it Can Cause a Toothache: Candy apples are very popular, they may work for you…but to me that are just too sweet!And…if you eat to much of a good or bad thing…you can STILL get SICK. So what am I trying to say…what’s GOOD for someone else may NOT BE GOOD for you! In your career space, if you are stuck and not sure what to do, reach out to the “right kind” of help…for you.
